JAKARTA, Indonesia , Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysia Airlines is thrilled to announce the launch of flights to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris, marking a key milestone in the airline's European expansion. This route, which will commence on 22 March 2025, represents Malaysia Airlines' 68th destination, reinforcing its position as the gateway to Asia and beyond.
